Dewey Discoveries with loved ones

Hello Deweyers :)

How are you? I wish I could upload more photos

but I haven't had the chance to take my camera around yet,

will do soon :)

I've constantly been meeting relatives and eating with them.

I'm really thankful that I have relatives who love and care for me in Korea.

Although I don't really feel it in Sydney,

I'm reminded once again my relatives will always be here for me whenever I need help...

I think that's the most beautiful thing about family :)

I'm eating too much here, I hope I don't become too fat.

Stay well deweyers!

Dewey Discovery in time away from home

Dear Deweyers

How are you?

I've finally arrived in Seoul, Korea
I really appreciated seeing family members again :)
but it's so cold here and I think I feel very homesick..

Maybe it's the cold... it's like a million needles piercing my face, hands and body.
In a few days, I'm off to my auntie's place in Suwon :)

Hope you are all well Deweyers,

I've come to realise there's a reason for everything :)

Miss you all!



Dewey Discoveries in anxiety

Hello Deweyers,

How are your summers? :)

I'll be going away tomorrow for approximately two weeks,

I'll let you know the reason for this trip later on.

So for the time being au revoir to cold calling, printing portfolios, rejection,

waiting for emails, waiting for calls, meeting people, channels of hope,

asking for favours, envying ones with steady incomes and...

incompetence for a little while..

I usually feel so excited and giddy the day before I go overseas,
somehow, not this time, it's this eerie feeling of whether I'm making the right decision...
But alas, the decision is concrete now,

so I guess I'll be having a colder summer again :)

Maybe I can take my mind of this business for a while :)
This is where I'll be staying, my auntie's house in Suwon.




Dear Deweyers! I shall meet you on the other side of the hemisphere!

Dewey Discoveries from Absentees

Hello Deweyers,

How do you do? :)

My brother and dad have gone overseas... hence it's just mum and I these days.

So when I come home or wake up, the house is a lot more peaceful and tranquil.

I feel like I have a sister now, maybe a sister with a few generation gaps :P

Perhaps it's a new stage in our relationship 

where I can be more of a friend, rather than a daughter for her.

There were times when I detested everything about her and

promised myself I will never grow up to be like her.

I wanted to stay away from her as much as I could...

But a lot of time has flown by and each day has been a small change

to understand each other more.

She has taught me so much, things like what it means to be a woman,

what role a woman needs to play, commitment, patience, kindness and generosity.

Before time slips through my fingers and I realise it's too late.
I shall try my best to cherish every moment :)

To commemorate mum and I having the house all to ourselves,

Here are some photos of the two of us travelling ages ago :)

Hope you enjoyed,

Have a wonderful evening dear deweyers :)

Youtube Tuesday

Hello deweyers :)
It's youtube tuesday today, I found this really interesting video.

It's just a single shot of a room and there's no human action,
but you can almost tell what's been happening just by
watching certain objects appear and disappear. 

Hope you enjoyed :)

Have a great day dear friend!

Dewey Discovery in trust

I have a maker, he formed my heart. 

Before even time began my life was in his hands...

I have a father, he calls me his own.

He'll never leave me no matter where I go...

He knows my name, he know my every thought,

he sees each tear that falls and hears me when I call.

Knowing this makes me happy and peaceful... :)

This is where I'd love to stay for some peace and quiet,

though I might get a little bored :)

Have a wonderful week dear deweyers :)

Dewey Discovery in old belongings

Hello deweyers :)

I found this the other day... it's a stationery set from Korea

my grandmother gave me about 15 years ago. 

I remember she sent me a large parcel box full of cute stationery,

everyday I would open the lid, have a look if everything was still in place,

admire some of my favourite pieces, close the lid and feel so content with life..haha

(what a LOSER :P)

Everything from that box is gone now except for this penguin!

It's just a little smaller than the size of my hand;

a pencil, felt-tip pen, highlighter, ballpoint pen and eraser all in one little penguin :)

so cute! and such a smart design, 

probably not practical but definately aesthetically pleasing :)



Happy New Year!

The beginning of something new always feels so exciting and fresh :)

may your year 2011 be full of happiness and joy!

Christmas Cookies!

The Mural

and.. homemade cards :)

Love Jenny

Dewey Discovery in festive seasons

Dearest Deweyers

How are you? I've really missed you a lot,

I feel safe and free here hehe

Now that the end of the year is so near,

I feel my mind has become more reflective than ever :)

The big questions like 'Who are you?'

or 'What's your purpose in life?' are filling my thoughts. 

I was explaining to a friend the other day that sometimes I think so deep and far,

I feel like I'm plummetting into an endless hole... now that is a scary place to be.

But at the same time I think I enjoy it too,

perhaps because it's a space in my mind where no one can reach.

She reminded me that I should live life as it comes,

to enjoy each day and not plan out my life before I even live it.

I'm so paranoid about making the right decisions,

not stepping on other peoples' toes...

it's hard for me to enjoy the moment :)

As a new goal for 2011...I shall live in the moment

and not worry too much :)

I always pictured my dream christmas to be a banquet of delicious food
on a candle lit table with carols playing in the background and
a bunch of loved ones laughing and chatting about their
stupid moments throughout the year hehee. 

Though mine was a little more quiet than this,
it was spent with people that matter so much to me..

Wherever your Christmases were

I hope they were lovely and spent with people you love!

Here are some photos of my neighbour

who decorated their house with beautiful christmas lights :)

Can you believe it's almost 2011?

My golly goodness!

Have a wonderful week dear friends :)
